Waukon football team comes up just short at Decorah, 23-22

The Waukon football team renewed a bit of a gridiron rivalry in the second game of its 2014 season, traveling to fellow Northeast Iowa Conference school Decorah Friday, September 5 to play the host Vikings for the first time in several seasons. In a battle of Indian air vs. Viking ground, the game came down to the final minutes and some special teams play before the host school was able to secure the 23-22 Indian defeat.

The Indians are scheduled to play host to another Northeast Iowa Conference School when the Class 3A Crestwood Cadets come to town this Friday, September 12 for a battle of teams yet winless in each of their early-season schedules. The Cadets come off a 28-6 loss at home to Hampton-Dumont this past Friday, September 5.
